Introduction

In this tutorial, we will learn how to crochet lace fingerless gloves. These gloves are not only stylish but also practical, allowing you to keep your hands warm while still having your fingers free for tasks that require dexterity. Crocheting these gloves is a fun and rewarding project that is suitable for both beginners and experienced crocheters. Let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials we need for this project. You will need the following:

1. Yarn - preferably sport weight
2. Crochet hook - size 5 mm or according to your wrist size
3. Scissors
4. Yarn needle

Now that we have everything we need, let's start crocheting our lace fingerless gloves.

Step 1: Making a Slip Knot

To begin, we first need to make a slip knot. This will serve as the starting point for our crochet work. Take the end of your yarn and make a loop. Then, insert your crochet hook through the loop and pull the yarn through to create a slip knot.

Step 2: Chain Stitch

Next, we will start with the chain stitch. This will create the foundation for our fingerless gloves. To make a chain stitch, yarn over (wrap the yarn around your hook) and pull it through the loop on your hook. Repeat this process until you have the desired number of chain stitches.

Step 3: Foundation Single Crochet Row

Once you have completed the chain stitch, we will move on to the foundation single crochet row. Insert your hook into the first chain stitch, yarn over, and pull up a loop. Yarn over again and pull through one loop. Then, yarn over and pull through two loops. This completes your first foundation single crochet. Continue making foundation single crochets by inserting your hook into the opposite side of the chain stitch and repeating the process until you have the desired number of stitches.

Step 4: Joining with a Slip Stitch

After completing the foundation single crochet row, check if it fits around your wrist. If it's too large, switch to a smaller hook; if it's too small, switch to a larger hook. Once you are satisfied with the size, join the ends by making a slip stitch. Make sure the chain is not twisted before joining.

Step 5: Making V-Stitches

For the next round, we will be making V-stitches all around. Start by chaining five and make a double crochet in the same stitch. Skip two stitches and make a V-stitch in the next stitch by making a double crochet, chain two, and another double crochet in the same stitch. Continue this pattern of skipping stitches and making V-stitches until you reach the end of the round. Join with a slip stitch.

Step 6: Making Shell Stitches

Now, we will work on the shell stitch pattern. Slip stitch into the next chain two space (or into the V-stitch), chain one, and make a single crochet in the same space. Chain two and work a shell stitch by making five double crochets into the next V-stitch. Continue this pattern of chaining two, making a single crochet, chaining two, and making five double crochets in the next V-stitch. Join the round with a slip stitch.

Step 7: Continuing the Pattern

Continue the pattern of making V-stitches and shell stitches alternately for the following rounds. Each round will consist of slip stitching, chaining, and making the respective stitches according to the pattern. Repeat these rounds, adjusting the size and length as desired, until you have completed a total of 17 rounds or have reached your desired length.

Step 8: Creating the Finger Hole

To create the finger hole, attach your yarn to the first double crochet of the shell stitch. Chain a suitable number of chains (e.g., seven) and join with a slip stitch to the fifth double crochet of the shell stitch. Chain one and pull tight to secure. Check if the finger hole fits comfortably, and adjust the number of chains if necessary. Cut the yarn and weave in the ends.

These gloves are not only fashionable but also practical, allowing you to keep your hands warm while maintaining finger dexterity.
